Get Behind The Kit

The collection is centred around Craig's personal Tama Star Maple shell pack, paired with his coveted Tama Bell Brass snare and a prototype secondary snare inspired by the Tama Star Reserve Aluminium. The cymbals are hand-picked from Craig's favourite Zildjian models, including his own widely acclaimed K Projection ride.

Recorded by Nolly and Craig in the legendary Wood Room at Real World Studios, the instrument showcases exceptional acoustics and a world-class signal path built around ultra-high-end microphones and legendary vintage Neve preamps.

What people are saying about One Kit Wonder: The Downbeat

LOVE it, such a thoughtful stripping down of the full GUI. I was playing sounds through my laptop speakers at first and it sounded huge even through there! I don’t feel like anything is missing from it.

Zach Munowitz

Producer & songwriter - Showing Teeth, Filter, mmune

The kit sounds amazing. I love how you all pushed the OKW "easy mode" vibe into the mixer with just a few ready-to-use knobs.

Casey Edwards

Composer - Destiny: Rising, Mortal Kombat 1, & Devil May Cry 5

It's simply the best.
